HIGH END RETOUCHER WITH AN INDUSTRIOUS, WORK HORSE ETHIC. OBSESSED WITH ALL THINGS
‘VISUAL ART’ TO PRODUCE BEST IN CLASS CREATIVE AND DELIVERY
FOR DIGITAL & PRINT.

A wealth of 25+ years strong experience in the Creative Advertising Industry. Working for and with global agencies, Photographers, CD’s, AD’s, Designers, Producers and shoot production teams.

15+ years Creative Studio Management experience managing and mentoring team players. Savvy in pre-post production workflow from the photoshoot process and image capture, colour management, tech/spec for digital and print.

Ability to analyse briefs and lead large projects from initial brief through to delivery, at pace, with calmness. Effective communication is high - without it none of the above is possible. I play as a lone wolf or part of the pack.

Specialisms - automotive, lux drink brands, skin and beauty* and all things in between.

* I endeavour to never retouch the soul out of the person down to removing their natural beauty. Neither reshape, or create a misguided message of beauty - It doesn’t sit with my values.

Aside from my hybrid skills and capabilities I’d say my personal strength is… I’m a warm fella who is approachable, accountable, keeps things professional, real and fun…always.

If you fancy getting in touch with any Q & A’s you may have with seeking solutions to
any of the above you know the drill
- I may not be able to save the world, but I can help you deliver the best results for your pre and post production. I might just save your ass.
